A Star is Born: 6 Plus Size Patterns

Glamour reloaded: These evening styles from the 12/2018 issue of BurdaStyle magazine are beautiful and comfortable – and they let the glow settle inward as you let yourself shine.

This shirt has a cool two-piece look that is highlighted even more when sewn with a glamorous effect weave fabric finished in a double layer – a fresh twist and the layers make it opaque. Transparent sleeves let a hint of skin peek out.

There are no wrinkles in this decorated cape that is loosely cut to fit comfortably over voluminous blouses or fine dresses to transition beautifully from day to night. During the day, it can be worn instead of a pullover to dress up basic shirts.

We are fans of sharply cut evening gowns and skirts – yet, sometimes the chance to be totally comfortable is the perfect evening style. This silk blouse with the attached batwing sleeves and brilliant buttons is a generous cut that looks great with a pair of sexy leather trousers and a pair of high heels.

This dress in a flowing viscose is also a multiple layer look. From the back, the top layer has the look of a matching piece to the outfit. For the office, style it with a short sleeve roll neck top and tall boots.

Comfort is allowed and these trousers have a flat front that drapes in a crêpe fabric just like the classic trouser suit look. In the back, the waistband has an elastic band for maximum comfort even on long days.

Here with a printed viscose for a fresh appeal. Style it as shown tucked into a skirt or trouser waist – a wonderful balance with the width of the cut.

Super sexy! This blazer with a double row of bands along the lapels, piping trimmed flap pockets and figure shaping darts is ready for the evening; here shown with a lace bodysuit. Style it for the day with a blouse or an
understated top.
